Get invoices out of Telegram and into Affinda

Drop an invoice into your Telegram chat and let Notis send it to Affinda for structured extraction, so you can return to the work that needs your attention.

Trigger

New Message Received

Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.

Action

Create Document

Tool to upload a new document for parsing. use when you have the document file or a public url and need to extract structured data immediately.

Why this helps

Invoices arrive in chat while you are focused elsewhere, and remembering to upload each one later adds another follow-up to your day.

  • Capture invoices at the moment they reach you.
  • Reduce repeated downloading and uploading.
  • Keep incoming bills moving while you stay in your current workflow.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and Affinda to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations or tell Notis in plain language what invoice intake should do.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis to use invoice files or public links received in Telegram to create parsed documents in Affinda.
  • 4Choose Telegram's New Message Received trigger and select where Notis should report runs.
  • 5Send one sample invoice to the bot and check that it appears as a parsed Affinda document.

Questions about this workflow

What should I send to Telegram?

Send an invoice file or a public link to the document in a chat the bot can see. Notis uses the instruction you provide to recognize the intended invoice intake.

Do I need to map invoice fields?

No. Describe the outcome in one plain-language instruction. Notis interprets the request and creates the Affinda document for parsing.
